i am going to throw out my old diadoras this week. no more italian boots for me. i will always respect the institution of italian football but from now on it is on. it is on and this is a positive development for us soccer. our players bled, saw lots of red and got the teams first point of the group stage. survival.
italy's pirlo has a fantastic foot; close to beck's. his restart strike to gilardino reminded me of the stunning first minute strike pirlo had to ac milan's skipper maldini against liverpool in the champion's final 2005. great set piece player now if only pirlo could stay on his feet and fight through a challenge...
de rossi you must have missed diving 101 and went to bill cartwright's elbow camp. thankfully brian mcbride still has his eye. thanks to you de rossi our kids in summer soccer were taught over and over again today to keep their arms down.
for those of you new to soccer and curious about the beautiful game. there is a difference between a foul and a yellow card and once upon a time an official would give a warning before jerking out a card. that is another conversation that i might leave to my buddy rg.
yesterday was an ugly day for fifa. a day latter i am a proud us soccer fan and i still love the game.

In my honest and incredibly tainted opinion all officials are horrible. By their very nature they are inferior human beings.
This is what a want-ad looks like for a soccer Ref.
Want to make an extra $25 a night. Soccer League seeking single lonely human being to watch a game that you have never played and could never understand. Like little children running around on a field. Call the city.
How bout for a basketball ref.
Did you suck at basketball as a kid and want to find a way to get back at the world. We pay you to do what you do best. Suck Suck Suck. Now you can teach all of the good athletes what it is like to sit on the bench.
